Ambient conditions¶
Risk of malfunctions / fire / explosion / electric shock
Operate the EC.IT.SU neither in water nor in humid environments or in aggressive, flammable or explosive atmospheres and not in extreme vibrations.
Due to the self-heating of the device, it must be ensured that the outside temperature does not exceed 40°C.
If this is not guaranteed, a ventilated or air-conditioned housing must be used.
